Comment: I've had absolutely no problems with this birth control pill. The only side effect I've had is low libido, which is what I've had with other BCPs as well. No spotting or anything, and period is generally 4-5 days long. I would recommend this to others.

Comment: I have been taking this medicine for 7 months now. At first i had a lot of hair loss. I was going bald on the side of my head, after a month all my hair grew back and i have had shorter periods. Also in the beginning i had a lot of headaches and stomach aches. It has all went away and i like the pill.

Comment: Ive had no major problems on this. Ive been taking this since they stopped making Apri. My periods are normal and about 6 days. The only major problem I do have is that my sex drive is horrible and I had to be switched to the low dose.
